LOCAL EXAMPLES
Low Impact Lawns
Start small or think big.
Your yard - Your choice. Nothing wrong with a well-groomed, expansive lawn. Find ways to minimize or reduce the need for gas-powered equipment. Healthy turf starts with healthy soils -- soils need organic matter like grass clippings, leaf fragments and cover to support all the microorganisms that naturally feed nutrients back in to your soils and lawns. Hire companies that will work with you--not just mow and blow cuz that's all they know.
